Warner Bros. Interactive is bringing a new LEGO Ninjago game to 3DS. In celebration of International Ninja Day, the company today announced “LEGO Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin”.
LEGO Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin, which is developed by TT Fusion, tells an untold story of the LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu TV show. View the official story overview below:
There is a new threat in Ninjago, and his name is Ronin. With help from his army of dark samurai, Ronin steals the Ninjas’ memories using an ancient weapon called the Obsidian Glaive. The Ninjas forget how to use their elemental powers, and it is up to the players to help them find their Obsidian weapons, regain their memories and reclaim their powers before Ronin completes his plan and releases an even greater evil on Ninjago.

Sakurai doesn’t think he’ll work on another Smash Bros. game
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 30 Comments
Super Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai addressed the series’ future in the latest issue of Game Informer.
Speaking about whether or not we’ll see another game in the series, Sakurai mentioned that he “can’t deny the chance for another.” He adds, however: “as for myself, I don’t think there will be.”
Sakurai spoke about how the goal with Super Smash Bros. for Wii U “was to provide extra merits to the game which go far beyond the sale price.” Limits have already been surpassed in terms of scope and content.
Sakurai does mention towards the end of his comments: “I also have trouble picturing someone else taking my place and providing all this value-added content without me.”
